Abstract

The goal of modern dentistry is to be conservative, preserving teeth but also maintaining the stability of the remaining alveolar ridge and the periodontium's proprioceptive capabilities. Cu-sil denture is the simplest approach in the preservation of teeth and maintaining proprioception. It is a type of transitional denture that provides an alternative treatment plan for the patients willing to replace their missing teeth while retaining their remaining natural teeth. It gives potential psychological benefits to the patients by avoiding extractions. It's a tissue-bearing acrylic appliance with a soft viscoelastic wrap that clasps the neck of each dentition, sealing out food and water simultaneously protecting and splinting each remaining tooth from the rigid acrylic denture base. This case reports series describes chairside techniques to fabricate Cu-sil dentures in the usual dental set-up.

Abstract

Background: A specific type of transitional denture called a Cu-Sil denture provides a therapy alternative for people who have a lot of natural teeth still in place and do not want to have them extracted. This is particularly salutary for cases where people may feel tone-conscious about the negative impact of tooth loss on their appearance and emotional well-being. Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to provide prosthetic rehabilitation for a partially edentulous patient while conserving the remaining natural teeth and their supporting structures. Case: With only three teeth (12, 13, and 14) remained in the maxillary arch, a 63-year-old man complained to the department of prosthodontics that he had difficulties speaking and eating since he had been missing both upper and lower teeth for a period of five years. Case management:This case report represents a simple method to fabricate a Cu-Sil denture in a partially edentulous patient. Conclusion: Cu-Sil dentures present a promising alternative for partially edentulous patients, offering a method to preserve and support the remaining natural teeth while providing effective prosthetic rehabilitation. The relining material, silicone, functions as a cushion to support the remaining natural teeth. Additionally, the use of a chairside soft-tissue liner in the basic removable partial denture helps to stabilize and retain the existing natural teeth.

Abstract

Benign or malignant tumor is one of the frequent causes of resection of the mandible. The extent and location of the tumor decides the mode of treatment of the neoplastic lesion. Surgical removal of oral neoplasm leads to an extensive resection of the mandible along with the associated structures. Objective: This case report describes the use of palatal ramp prosthesis to guide the mandible during movements and restore a stable occlusal relationship with an additional acrylic buccal pad to achieve partial esthetics. Case Report: A 30-years-old female patient reported with the inability to chew food following the mandibular resection of the left side. History of the patient revealed left side segmental mandibulectomy following surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of mandible. This case report describes the use of palatal ramp prosthesis to guide the mandibular deviation. Conclusion: The clinician must keep in mind the prosthetic intervention until and unless the reconstruction of the defect is planned. The rehabilitation of the defect should be done as soon as possible to prevent the mandibular deviation.

Abstract

Introduction: Tooth-supported overdentures is a simple and cost-efficient modality that helps preserve bone. This concept is completely supported by DeVan’s maxim: “Perpetual preservation of what is left is more important than the exact replacement of what is lost.” The preserved tooth structure beneath the denture base prevents alveolar ridge resorption, enhances proprioception, and improves denture support and stability. Additionally, using copings on the remaining teeth improves the denture’s retention. Case Report: A 49-year-old female patient reported having the chief complaint of difficulty in chewing food due to missing teeth in the upper and lower arch. An intraoral examination revealed a partially edentulous maxillary arch with denture-induced stomatitis as the patient had a faulty maxillary removable partial denture for five years. The mandibular arch was also partially edentulous, and only mandibular left second premolar and right first and second premolar were present. The patient was advised to stop using maxillary removable partial denture (RPD) altogether and was given an antifungal tablet as well as a multivitamin tab and topical clotrimazole. This case report describes prosthodontic rehabilitation of a mandibular’s partially edentulous arch with tooth-supported overdenture using ball attachments and custom-made coping. Conclusion: For edentulous patients with few remaining teeth, a mandibular tooth-supported overdenture is one of the best and most practical, feasible, and comfortable treatment alternatives. The patient was satisfied with the treatment outcome.
